Overall Champions

Sturla Holm Lægreid claimed his first World Cup title, securing three victories this season. He also earned small crystal globes in the individual, pursuit, and mass start standings.

Franziska Preuß also claimed the crystal globe for the first time in her career after a season-long battle with Lou Jeanmonnot until the final race. She secured four victories, two small crystal globes (sprint and mass start), and the world champion title in pursuit.

The season started on 30 November 2024 in Kontiolahti, Finland and concluded on 23 March 2025 in Oslo Holmenkollen, Norway.^[3]

A major highlight of the season was the 2025 Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, whose results were not included in the World Cup standings (except for the national standings).

Johannes Thingnes Bø from Norway and Lisa Vittozzi from Italy were the reigning champions from the previous season. Bø finished the season in 2nd place, while Vittozzi was unable to compete, having withdrawn from the entire season due to a back injury sustained during pre-season training.^[4] Additionally, Bø ended his career during the final competition in Oslo Holmenkollen.

The new World Cup winners for the season, both claiming the title for the first time, were Sturla Holm Lægreid from Norway and Franziska Preuß from Germany.

Season overview

For the first time since the 2003/04 season, Östersund did not host any biathlon World Cup events.

The IBU Executive Board introduced several rule changes for the new season, based on recommendations from the Technical Committee:^[5]

• New starting order system: In individual and sprint events, the top 30 athletes could no longer choose their starting groups. Those ranked 16–30 were assigned even starting numbers between 16 and 44, while the top 15 started between 46 and 74. Designed to keep races more exciting, this system was trialed in late 2024 and remained in place throughout the season, with flexibility for earlier starts in bad weather conditions.

• Points system update: The points distribution was revised, giving more weight to athletes finishing between 3rd and 9th place. This adjustment, requested by the Athletes Committee, aims to reward consistency in the top 10, rather than focusing too heavily on podium finishes.

• U23 ranking: The U25 ranking was lowered to U23, also at the request of the Athletes Committee.

• Expanded team quotas: For the first time, the starting right for IBU Cup winners applied to the entire national team for the first two World Cups, allowing nations like Norway and France to field seven athletes in Kontiolahti and Hochfilzen.

• Additional starting quotas: Extra quota places were awarded for the last World Cup. Nations received one additional spot for each athlete in the top 10 of the previous season’s IBU Cup rankings, with a maximum of two spots per nation. The top junior from the Junior World Championships also earned a personal starting place.

Selina Grotian became the first woman born in the 2000s to win a World Cup competition.

During the single mixed relay competition in Oberhof, the Finnish team claimed their first-ever victory in the history of mixed relay events.^[6] Similarly, during the single mixed relay event in Pokljuka, the Swiss team achieved the same milestone.^[7]

By winning the short individual race in Pokljuka, Jakov Fak became the second-oldest winner in World Cup history (38 years, 4 months, and 30 days), behind only Ole Einar Bjørndalen (41 years, 10 months, and 6 days). He also recorded the second-longest gap between World Cup victories (3,644 days), trailing only Tomasz Sikora (4,049 days).^[8]
